Why Choose Draugar?

Privacy by Design

Built from the ground up with your privacy as the top priority. Not an afterthought.

End-to-End Encryption

Location data is encrypted on your device before transmission. The server never sees your actual location.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

We can't read your data even if we wanted to. Your privacy is mathematically guaranteed.

100% Open Source

Every line of code is public. Verify our privacy claims yourself. No black boxes.

Self-Hostable

Run your own instance on your own server. Complete control over your family's data.

Privacy-First Maps

OpenStreetMap integration. No Google tracking, no API keys, no surveillance.

No Data Selling. Ever.

We don't sell your data. We don't have ads. We don't track you. Period.
